A North West Event
Tuesday 24th February 2009, the Adelphi Hotel, Lime Street, Liverpool
Sponsored by UNITE the Union (Region 6) and Thompsons Solicitors
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, known as TUPE, govern how workers are treated following the transfer of a business or a change in service provision. The original aim of the Regulations was to strengthen the rights of workers involved in transfers, providing them with continuity of employment and the same terms and conditions as they had prior to the transfer.

about the seminar
Current redundancy law means that UK workers are among the cheapest to sack in Europe. At the BMW plant in Cowley, the management sacked four shifts, 850 temporary staff at an hour’s notice, with no redundancy pay. How could it get
to this?
